THE "SUMMA THEOLOGICA"

QUESTION XCV.
OF THINGS PERTAINING TO THE FIRST MAN'S WILL--
NAMELY, GRACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.
(In Four Art_les.)
$VE next consider what belongs to the will of the first man ;
concerning which there are two points for treatment:
(i) The grace and righteousness of the first man ; (2) the use
of righteousness as regards his dominion over other things.
Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:
(1) Whether the first man was created in grace ? (2) Whether
in the state of innocence he had passions of the soul?
(3) Whether he had all virtues ? (4) Whether what he did
would have been as meritorious as now ?
FIRST ARTICLE.
WHETHER THE FIRST MAN WAS CREATEDIN GRACE?
We proceed thus to the First "Article:m
Objection I. It would seem that the first man was not
created in grace. For the Apostle, distinguishing between
Adam and Christ, says (I Cor. xv. 45): The first Adam
•oas made into a living soul ; the last Adam into a quickening
spirit. But the spirit is quickened by grace. Therefore
Christ alone was made in grace.
Obj. 2. Further, Augustine says (QQ. Vet. et Nov. Test.,
qu. I23") that Adam did not possess the Holy Ghost. But
whoever possesses grace, has the Holy Ghost. Therefore
Adam was not created in grace.
Obj. 3. Further, Augustine says (De Correp. et Grat. x.)

S. Augustine.
